Overview

At BusPatrol, we’re transforming student transportation safety through cutting-edge technology and real-time automated enforcement. We're seeking a Full Stack Developer to be at the forefront of our engineering evolution—from a legacy monolith to a modern, microservices-based Automated Safety Platform.

As a Full Stack SWE on the Ticketing team, you won’t just write code—you’ll be a key driver in re-architecting our platform for scale, performance, and future innovation. You'll collaborate across geographies with engineers, product managers, and designers to deliver resilient, secure, and customer-focused experiences.

This is more than a development role—it’s an opportunity to lead modernization efforts, influence technical direction, and bring meaningful safety improvements to millions of children and families.

Key Responsibilities

- Lead engineering efforts to decompose our monolithic applications into scalable, modular microservices.

- Design, develop, and maintain clean, efficient, and well-tested code in both backend (Python, Ruby) and frontend (React/Angular) stacks.

- Build and evolve secure, high-performance APIs supporting real-time data pipelines and customer-facing applications.

- Partner with cross-functional teams including Product, QA, DevOps, and Data Engineering to build end-to-end solutions that meet business goals.

- Contribute to architectural decisions that improve performance, observability, security, maintainability and scalability/reusability.

- Champion engineering best practices including CI/CD, TDD, pair programming, and code reviews.

- Take ownership of projects from ideation through deployment, with a bias for execution and iterative improvement.

- Be a proactive voice in platform strategy, bringing innovative ideas and continuous learning to the team.

- Contribute to our cloud-native infrastructure using AWS serverless technologies (e.g., Lambda, SQS, DynamoDB, S3).

Preferred Qualifications

- 8+ years of software development experience; strong foundation in backend systems using Python (must-have) and Ruby (nice to have).

- Experience with modern front-end frameworks such as React, Angular, or VueJS.

- 3+ years of experience with backend web frameworks (e.g., Django, Flask, Rails).

- Hands-on experience with AWS services: Lambda, S3, SQS, API Gateway, CloudWatch.

- Comfortable working in an agile, test-driven development environment with modern DevOps tooling.

- Practical knowledge of RESTful APIs, SQL/NoSQL databases (MySQL, Postgres, DynamoDB), GraphQL.

- Design and implement event-driven services using technologies like AWS EventBridge, SNS/SQS, etc to enable decoupled, scalable communication between microservices

- Experience designing and consuming gRPC APIs in production environments a plus

- Proficient in containerization (Docker) and CI/CD pipelines.

- Familiarity with testing and linting tools (pytest, rspec, jest, Flake8, RuboCop).

- Excellent communicator with a strong collaborative mindset and a passion for mentoring and peer reviews.

- BS/MS in Computer Science or equivalent experience.

Why Join Us

- Be part of a mission-driven company making roads safer for students and communities.

- Help architect the future of our Automated Safety Platform.

- Work on modern, cloud-native, and serverless technologies.

- Collaborate with a global, inclusive, and high-performing team.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
